Les has been around a long time and certainly is knowledgeable about many forms of UNIX, Linux, Windows and OS X. He seems to enjoy fomenting discussions about what it is that Red Hat does in general that doesn't suit him but given CentOS philosophy to track upstream as closely as possible, there is no possibility that it will the distribution that will totally satisfy his wants.
I see Ubuntu doing much the same things as Fedora and that probably won't be as much of a change as he had hoped but c'est la vie. What he actually wants is a distribution that flips the middle finger to all GPL & Free License restrictions, comes with proprietary video drivers, codecs, Sun Java, Adobe stuff, with the latest versions of most everything but is stable. I hope that he finds it.
Mac OS X?
Actually that's what I run at home but it's not a great server and Apple gives you plenty of reasons to hate them too.
